Amazing race, action packed, intrigue.. Nearly voted a 7 because of the abysmal FOM footage. Narly voted an 8 because my favorite drivers didn’t do too well. Nearly voted a 9 because I felt that was it. Went with a 10 just because I’m madly in love with F1 (on track) this season.

What if we all stopped complaining about the fact 1 driver hit another driver? Race reviews shouldn’t be overshadowed by 1 small piece of contact. How much slack did Alonso get when he hit Vettel at La Source, or even when Rosberg had a Gearbox failure at Silverstone which dramatically affected people’s scores?
There are 22 drivers and car on track guys, not 2.

Great battle for 6 place and The reason to love F1. Great defensive driving by K Magnussen and just within The rules – if this kind of driving is penalised it will become boring to watch F1 and become a bureaucratic battle instead.

8/10
Pros:
Exciting battles throughout and a mixture of strategies certainly made it interesting
Kimi back on form was great to see
Mclaren, Alonso and Vettel battle really spiced up things at the end
No ridiculous “Bernie says” advertisements across the track

Cons:
DRS was a little too overpowered today
Hamilton puncture ruined what could have been a very intense battle between him and Rosberg
Butthurt fans booing Nico on the podium

Great race, again. Spa is amzaing.
Down side is Rosberg getting away with his mistakes again. Seeing the onboard footage it was a ridiculous mistake, and he should have been punished (i’m sure Lewis would have).
8/10
